Watchlists let you save and organize the stocks you're interested in. You can create multiple lists (up to 10) with up to 100 stocks each.

Built-in watchlists

OptyTrades comes with several built-in watchlists available to all users:

• Indexes & ETFs — 25 popular ETFs including SPY, QQQ, IWM, DIA, all sector SPDRs (XLF, XLE, XLK, etc.), and thematic/commodity/bond ETFs like GLD, TLT, and ARKK.
• S&P 500 — All S&P 500 component stocks, pulled directly from the screener's data so they load instantly.

Curated wheel watchlists

Five hand-curated lists are pre-loaded specifically for wheel traders. Every stock in these lists is audited against live data and must pass strict quality gates before it earns a spot — and is removed the moment it no longer qualifies:

• Wheel Under $25 — Capital-efficient names under $25. Run a cash-secured put for $1,000–$2,500 in collateral. Good for smaller accounts.
• Wheel Under $50 — The flagship list. The sweet spot for most retail wheelers — enough premium, enough quality, ~$5K per CSP contract.
• Wheel Under $100 — Larger-cap names with strong fundamentals. For $25K+ accounts who want higher-quality underlyings even if IV is slightly lower.
• Mega Cap Wheel — $100B+ blue chips with deep weekly chains. Lower premium, but sleep-at-night quality. For $100K+ accounts.
• Dividend Wheel — Dynamic list filtered live for dividend yield ≥2% and market cap ≥$10B. Stack option premium with dividend income.
• Buffett Quality — High-moat companies scoring ≥80 on both Stock Score and Assignment Quality. The “sleep at night” list for conservative wheelers who want Berkshire-style underlying quality.
• CANSLIM Growth — High-growth momentum names filtered for earnings acceleration, rising volume, and strong relative strength. Higher IV and premium potential in exchange for more volatility.
• Dividend 50 — The 50 highest-yielding optionable stocks with market cap ≥$5B and a sustainable payout ratio. Combines dividend income with option premium.
• Deep Value 50 — Stocks trading at a meaningful discount to Graham fair value and with positive Piotroski F-Score trends. For wheelers who want a margin of safety built in before selling the put.

Creating a watchlist

1. Click the gear icon next to the watchlist dropdown at the top of the screener.
2. In the “Manage Watchlists” modal, type a name for your new list and click Create.
3. You'll see your new list appear. You can now add stocks to it.

Adding stocks to a watchlist

There are two ways:

• From the screener table: Click the star icon on any stock row. If you have multiple watchlists, a popover appears letting you check/uncheck which lists to add it to. If you only have one list, it toggles automatically.
• From the manage modal: Open the gear icon, click a list to expand it, then type a ticker in the “Add ticker” input and press Enter. The symbol is validated before being added (fake tickers are rejected).

Viewing a watchlist

Use the dropdown at the top of the screener (next to the gear icon) to switch between “All Stocks” and any of your watchlists. When viewing a watchlist, the table shows only stocks in that list — and they're fetched independently, so you'll see all your watchlist stocks even if they aren't in the main screener universe.

Filter memory

Each watchlist remembers its own filter settings. So if you set “Min Score: 70+” on your “Blue Chips” list and “Sector: Tech” on your “Tech Picks” list, those filters are restored automatically when you switch between lists. “All Stocks” has its own saved filters too.

Your active watchlist selection is also saved automatically. If you switch to your “Blue Chips” list and close the browser, it will be selected again next time you open the screener.

Removing stocks

Click the star icon again to remove a stock, or open the manage modal, expand the list, and click the × next to any ticker pill.
